A Small Fire.

About 10 o'clock last night a fire,
which apparently had its origin from a
defective furnace in the basement OF
John Kings three-story dwelling at 81
Spruce Place, did damage to the amount
of 5000. The same house was the scene
of a fire about two weeks ago. g.

The knights Of Labor, the New
York Sun shows, lost 42,076 mem.
bers from July /, 1886, to April /,
1887, in ten district assemblies,
which had at the earlier date 104,-
ATS members, and at the later 6l,-
1893. These assemblies, one of which
is mo. 1867 just suspended because
it would not give way to the reckless
men who control mo. 49," have lost
over two-fifths of their membership,
and there is no reason to suppose
that the order through the country
has not suffered in like proportion.
We doubt if it has today even two
thirds as many members as it had
enrolled before the strike on Gould's
Southwestern roads just fifteen
month ago In three great strikes
since then and in scores of lesser
struggles it has made a miserable
failure. The attempt to put the
world of labor in a sling, so to speak
does not seem thus far to have been
an alarming success

That Was a Very Wise Dog.

A large rat ran around q store
room, trying to get out. A small
dog, with hardly an inch Of tail, sat
o that inch on the floor, watched
the rat, but made no attempt to at
tack it. A colored man seated on a
box few feet away watched the ac-

/ have travelled witd beauty. with virtue
have been with the ugly, the bad.
/ have laughed with lii. ones who were

And wept with the ones who were sad.
One thing i have learned in my Journey
Meier to Judge one by what he appears.
The eyes that seem sparkling with laughter
Oft battle to keep orch the tears
And long. sanctimonious faces
Hide often the souls that are vile.
While the heart that is merry and cheerful
Is often the freest from guile.
And have learned not to look for perfection
In one of our frail humankind,
In hearts the most gentle and loving
Some blemish or fault we can find:
But yet I've ne'r found the creature
So low, so deprayed or 50 mean,
But had some good impulse some virtue
That 'mong his bad traits might be seen.
And, too, | have learned that most friend
ships
We make are as brittle rs glass.
Just let reverse overtdke us
Our friends on the ''oiher side" pass.
But, ah. / have found some few loyal-
Some hearts ever LOVING and true!
And the joy and the peace they've brought
me
Have cheered me my whole journey
through.

A LETTER.
mercury

Only an old-time letter;
But from each faded line
There breathes a tender passion
That once was only mine.
Only an old-time letter;
But from each yellow page
There comes woe of long ago
The ghost OF sweeter age.
Only an old-time letter.
Dark with the stain Of years;
But oft that withered writing
Has bloomed beneath my tears
But oh! that dream is shattered
The fount of grief runs dry;
To-day the sad remembrance
Wakes hut passing sigh.
Yes, the page is old and yellow;
And the moss is on thy grave,
Where the pale moon nightly silver'
The shadows of wind-b blown wave
Where the long and silent river
Ends in the moaning sea,
AS thy sweet life hath vanished
Into eternity.

TIME WILL BRING THE HONOR.
In all great revolutionary move
ments, time is an important factor.
The seed sown into the ground to-
day does not bud and blossom to-
morrow, but long interval of time
is requisite for it to take root, ger
inmate, bud, blossom and ripen.
Likewise is it with political ques-
tions. The seed of the Reformation
which developed into grain, ready
for the harvest, was not sown by
Martin Luther, who is so intimately
connected with the Reformation that
there can be no Reformation with
out Luther. and vice versa but that
seedwhich Luther reaped was di s.
seminated by John Wickliffe, who is
known as the forerunner of the Ref
ormation. The ''grand old man"
Gladstone, Of England, and Charles
Stewart Parnell, of Ireland, will not
behold the ripening of tho plant
"Home Rule, " for aught we know q
plant of hundred years growth but
we predict that their posterity will
live to see the day when the blessed
purpose for which they strove will
be attained. Then beautiful Erin,
where now the shamrock mournfully
grows, will rejoice and honor and re-
we're the names of Gladstone and
Parnell, just as Christendom honors
and reveres the political and relig-
ious reformers of the by-gone ages.

The Law About Newspapers.

A newspaper in Illinois recently
Instituted suit against forty three
men who would not pay their sub
scriptions and obtained judgement
in each case for the full amount of
each claim. OF these, SO made afli-
davit that they owned no more prop
erty than the law allowed them, thus
preventing attachment. Then under
decision ofthe supreme court they
were arrested for petit larceny and
bound over in the sum of $500 each.
All but six gave bonds, and those
went to Jail. The new postal law
makes it petit larceny to take news
paper and refuse to pay for the
same.

hauled III for repairs, mere changing
shadows ON the political dial, that
ere yet it becomes noon may envelop
and enshroud others destinies and
bring even the wrecks to the front,
or work change that will wrest the
State from the chickering's of quar-
relling and distracted party. Boast
ing may be made of the majoritics
in Jefferson, Hampshire, Hardy and
other Counties of the kickers, but it
is only buster. There is no fight
in these Counties. They know
not what there is in battle. In the
close counties, where votes count,
where the lines are drawn and the
result in doubt, there men can talk
of the fight and speak of victory
without buster. So it goes, and the
field of '8S must bear the scars Of
.87 for good or evil. This much by
way of history that is likely to exert
a powerful influence over the near

ic statement of the case. He was as
real a president as the country has
had-too real indeed, for those who
carped at his administration. He
gave the nation the ablest cabinet
it has had since the war, and, under
its advice, he dld wise things.
Hence many of the tears that were
shed, and have been since shed, con-
corning him.

SEM TORIAL SINGS.

The Wheeling Intelltgenceris bless
ed with correspondent at Martins
burg, and from an account of the
horn blowing and foot footing at
Senator Gettinger's, has led to the
inference that there is trouble be-
tween the Faulkner brothers and
Mr.. Gettinger on account Of the
election of one Mr.. +. as Mr.. Cam
denis successor. We do not credit
any such lsurmise or story. There
was no more chance for Hon. E.
Boyd Faulkner election as Senator
than there was for the election of
Mr.. Camden, Mr.. Sommerville, Mr..
Chancellor, or any other, person who
had been a known quantity in Mr..
Camden's interests in this contest.
No man except one of those present
ed by the twelve apostles, corld, by
any possibility, be elected. The
thirty,eight could choose from that
list or defeat an election. Camden
stood stronger with his own party
and stronger with the Republicans
than any man presented. The
shadows of the kickers covered the
ex-senator and his entire corps of
known followers.
Judge Faulkner had refused to
oppose Camden, but he had been
named by the twelve, and enough of
them were within the range of the
Eastern Pan Handle to make him ac-
ceptable, and he was the most avail
able of those named as comprom-
Use man to Mr.. Camden's friends
therefore, he was elected without
any contest between himself and
any other aspirant, not even exclud-
ing his brother. The same element
that defeated Mr.. Camdenhad defeat
ed Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner's nomi-
nation for Governor, and therefore
he never had the ghost of chance
for election as Senator. He had to
60 down with his friends, Camden,
Davis, and others of the prominent
actors; and the fact that majority
of his friends should have joined in
electing his brother, when all other
efforts and hopes had been wrecked
by the twelve kiekers, is, we believe,
a pleasing coincidence rather than
subject of discomfort or unhappiness
to Mr.. Camden, Mr.. Boyd Faulkner
and other friends. There never has
been such chapter of dark horses
coming to the front. Parks went
down with an exploded, dead conven-
ton, and Gettinger was brought to
the surface of the troubled waters.
An expiring and agonizing Legisla-
ture made Governor Wilson the po-
litical midwife, and Lucas was the
result as Senator pro TEN. Out of
the same shell crept Beckvith into
the Legislature, and as oil on the
troubled waters, Judge Faulkner was
made Senator Faulkner and again
Wilson become godfather and Beck
with was placed on the bench. Every
one is an unlocked for quantity.
All along the line there are wrecks,
